Second Annual Queens Beer Festival to take place this weekend

The Queens Beer Festival is posed to return again after its debut last year in Long Island City.

The festival will take place on Oct. 14 and Oct. 15 from 12:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at LIC Flea & Food, located at 5-25 46th Ave. Beers from every single Queens-based brewery will be available at the event for unlimited tastings, along with a curated selection of brews from Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Staten Island.

Tickets for the weekend beer festival range from $29 to $116, and are based on time brackets. Tickets timed for the first and last two hours of the event are $29, with the price going up to $39 for those interested in skipping the line and getting an extra 30 minutes of beer tastings.

VIP tickets at $56 are also available and include Food & Flea discounts, a beer festival tote, and an extra 30 minutes gained by skipping the line. The “full spread” ticket, at $126, allow attendees to stay for the entirety of the event and receive food and flea discounts along with a tote bag.
